My boy flys right seat for a major carrier. He tells me flying a 727 is no big deal. "Nothin to it dad, you only have to remember two things, push the yoke forward, the houses get bigger, pull it back, the houses get smaller."

I imagine that's a very old aviation joke, but he probably figures his old man wouldn't understand the newer ones.

He forgot one thing: Pull it back too far and the houses really get big!

And keep pulling the yoke back, and the houses get bigger again. :-)

Bwahaha, you beat me to it...definition of a jet engine... A fuel to noise generator that makes the houses look smaller!
